Format for several citations in a reference

Post by fjmp »

In most chemistry journals is usual to include several citations in a single references, lettering each citation:
As an example:
7. (a) Watanabe, Y.; Tsuji, Y.; Ohsugi, Y. Tetrahedron Lett. 1981, 22, 2667;
(b) Arcelli, A.; Khai, B.-T.; Porzi, G. J. Organomet. Chem. 1982, 235, 93; (c) Murahashi, S.-I.; Kondo, K.; Hakata, T. Tetrahedron Lett. 1982, 23, 229; (d) Watanabe, Y.; Tsuji, Y.; Ige, H.; Ohsugi, Y.; Ohta, T. J. Org. Chem. 1984, 49, 3359; (e) Marsella, J. A. J. Org. Chem. 1987, 52, 467; (f) Jenner, G. J. Mol. Catal. 1989, 55, 241; (g) Bitsi, G.; Schleiffer, E.; Antoni, F.; Jenner, G. J. Organomet. Chem. 1989, 373, 343; (h) Ganguly, S.; Roundhill, D. M. Polyhedron 1990, 9, 2517; (i) Watanabe, Y.; Morisaki, Y.; Kondo, T.; Mitsudo, T. J. Org. Chem. 1996, 61, 4214; (j) Abbenhuis, R. A. T. M.; Boersma, J.; van Koten, G. J. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 4282; (k) Naota, T.; Takaya, H.; Murahashi, S.-I. Chem. Rev. 1998, 98, 2599; (l) Del Zotto, A.; Baratta, W.; Sandri, M.; Verardo, G.; Rigo, P. Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 2004, 524.

I am wondering how could I get that...
Thanks for your help.

In the format check "Group references always cited together". You won't get letters, but you will get all the references under the same number.

Thanks Jon,
I was aware of it but I was looking for the letters... At the moment I have put a placeholder in "Separate in bibliography with" and then ,at the final stage of the manuscript, I change it for the letters. The main problem is to check the right reference in the text when you want cite specifically 17c, 17c-f or whatever... I must reread carefully the manuscript before finishing. I try to avoid that format and make separate citations but sometimes the editors are quite persistent...

Thanks again

If you have one group citing 17c alone and another citing 17c-f, Bookends should put them under different numbers in the bibliography:

1. c
2. d-f

and in the text after the scan you'd get (1, 2).

At least that's how I remember it works (I haven't revisited this in years)
